UC Riverside's School of Education offers the sole American Psychological Association-accredited doctoral program in School Psychology across Southern California. Our program, recognized by both the APA and the National Association of School Psychologists, provides students with a challenging curriculum and an ideal setting in the culturally rich and economically thriving Inland Empire area.
We prepare future school psychologists as scientist-practitioners who advance research in the field while tackling real-world challenges in K-12 education related to learning, behavior, and cognitive development. Grounded in eco-behavioral theory, our program emphasizes evidence-based approaches drawing from applied behavior analysis, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and social learning research.
